In the morning we awakened to hundreds of baby praying mantisses all over our living room.

I had no idea it was there -- until we had hundreds of baby mantids in our room. It was a wee bit creepy, but I will admit, they are very cool. My children and husband gathered them all up gently and took them outside. <br /><br />Fun to find you via the BYB Challenge!

In my life I have seen a total of 3 praying mantises. The children have seen 1, we saved it from being stuck in a friend's garage door track. <br />The girls get so excited when they find a lady bug in the house to put in a jar as a "pet" <br />Thanks for sharing the pictures. Never have seen a baby mantis.

I'm sure my kids would all like their own, and I would too! If they don't eat each other, I will see if any homeschoolers around here would like one or more. The others, assuming we can keep them alive until it's warm enough, will be released back into our yard. We have two more egg cases to hatch, so we will be overrun if we try to keep them all!Beth Hollmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795254887495671167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24309747.post-53501169567408705332014-02-19T17:01:35.490-07:002014-02-19T17:01:35.490-07:00Oh, my goodness!
